Cardiac involvement by non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in acquired immune deficiency syndrome.
Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas are frequent in patients with human immune deficiency virus positive antibodies. Exceptional instances of cardiac involvement have been described. We report a case of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and massive cardiac involvement with antemortem echocardiographic assessment. Use of echocardiography in lymphomas-associated AIDS could help in discovering further cases of cardiac involvement.
